The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle

People said we couldn't play
The called us foul-mouthed yobs
But the only notes that really count
Are the ones that come in wadsThey all drowned when the air turned blue
'cos we didn't give a toss
Filthy lucre, ain't nothing new
But we all get cash from the chaosThe time is right to do it now
The greatest rock'n'roll swindle
The time is right to do it nowE.M.I. said you're out of hand
And they gave us the boot
But they couldn't sack us, just like that
Without giving us the lootThank you kindly a & m
They said we were out of bounds
But that ain't bad for two weeks work
And 75,000 poundsThe time is right to do it now
The greatest rock'n'roll swindle
The time is right to do it nowThe time is right to do it now
The greatest rock'n'roll swindle
The time is right to do it nowI just wanna play with my band
Are you good enough for me?
Hiya boys i'm the choosen one
Can't you fucking see!I'm a jealous God and I want everything
And I love you with a knife
I'll take you, if you're ready for me
And i'll give you my lifeThe time is right to do it now
The greatest rock'n'roll swindle
The time is right to do it nowThe time is right for Nicky Special
The greatest rock'n'roll star
The time is right for me, now!
